Well last Saturday we made an exchange of sorts. A rescue we partner with was kind enough to take our shy boy Finn out of boarding to stay at their property. They have a pack of dogs there suited to building his confidence. This enabled us to take one of their dogs into foster with us. We fell in love with Kore the first day we met her. This little bully mix had been stuck in boarding for 1.5 years waiting for a home! The next week we went back to do a photo shoot for her and Finn. Kore decided I was the one could get her out of boarding and tried repeatedly to get into my car. This made me cry. I told her I would be back for her. I would figure out something. She believed me. When I arrived for her last weekend she was ready. Excitedly she ran out of her kennel stopping briefly to say hi to Rick her rescue's owner and myself and then pulled Stacy to the door, itching to go. She remembered which car was mine and ran to it, leaping inside. Once we arrived at our house, she knew where we were and frantically jumped out of the car, then ran up the stairs. To say this little girl was excited and determined to start her new life would be an understatement. Welcome home Kore.

Last week we visited the vet with Pippa amd got xrays of both front legs. A radiologist looked at them and still this week they dont know exactly what is causing her to limp. Hoping with more crate rest it will heal and we wont need to see an orthopedic surgeon. After have complication from her spay surgery this problem now is too much for a young puppy. She just wants to run and play with her foster brothers and sisters. Please keep her in your prayers for healing.

I visited Finn last week and was happy to see that he is progressing. He is more confidenr than when he arrived. Now he walks on a leash well, he learned very quickly. He is very trainable as he looks to you for direction and wants to please. He prefers to have the company of other dogs and particularly liked walking with a female. He lit up in her company and felt more secure. I will be visiting him again this weekend. We still need a foster for him. He is good with other dogs and tested well with cats. If you are in the general Louisville area and are interested please call us at: 502-509-9886. We cover all expenses.

On Tuesday we rescued Finn. He has been waiting for 1.5 years (basically his whole life). We have searched and searched for an adopter or foster. No-one showed up. We couldnt leave him living outside freezing in the cold any longer, so without a foster to go to we took him into the rescue and he is starting his journey in boarding with a kind lady who will work to bring him out of his shell.
This sweet boy was so scared he sat in one spot inside the facility when we arrived and wouldnt move. He hasn't been outside of a outdoor pen his whole life. I had to carry him to his new kennel.
Despite everything new being frightening he is super sweet, gentle and affectionate. He is dog friendly and tested cat friendly. We still NEED a foster for him. Ideally someone experienced with nervous sogs or a patient, kind person willing to learn. Please contact us if you are in the general Louisville area. We also are in need of donations or monthly sponsors to help cover boarding costs and his other expenses. Payment info is in our bio. Please let us know if you can help.

Miss Pippa is doing really well in foster. She has fit right in with all the other dogs. This week she got spayed and came out still wanting to bounce around. We had a bit of a scare today thinking she might have kennel cough (which would be a first for us). Thankfully the awesome #arielbullyrescue #petvet365blankenbaker squeezed us in and it was a false alert.

UPDATE: I am sad to report that the owner of the farm has declined to surrender Bear. :( We are not happy about this at all and hope that she changes her mind and does the right thing for Bear.
UPDATE: A lovely local rescue has stepped up to partner with us and take Bear. He will go to their property this Saturday. Big thanks to Kathy Sweeten. Photos to come. Today we picked up Finn and took him to a boarding facility. We are partnering with another rescue to help him. We still do not have a foster but continue to search. Boarding is a better option than freezing to death though. See the comments for photos.
UPDATE: Thanks to Kathy Sweeten we have a dog igloo on loan to take a bit of the edge off the cold for the boys. This is only a temporary solution though. No fosters have come forward. :'(
UPDATE: We still have ZERO foster offers for Finn and Bear. We also need some more donors to cover expenses for both of them in a rescue. We have one rescue interested in Bear but funding is needed and FOSTERS.
These two beautiful dogs have been waiting for a home for over a year after being abandoned by their family. They live on a farm in a pen 24/7 with no shelter (their dog houses are broken and too small), no stimulation or interaction. They are there in the heat of Summer and the freezing cold of Winter. They are the sweetest boys. We don't know how they haven't gotten kennel crazy yet.
They deserve homes. Furthermore the owner of the farm they stay on is losing the property so they URGENTLY need fosters or adopters.
We need funding to take them into our rescue. If you can donate or be a monthly sponsor please let us know. (Do not send any money to anyone now. We will post freedom photos if they are rescued and funds can be sent then.) Please SHARE!
Snowy loves when her foster Dad shares some nut butter. It took a while to put weight on our pretty girl since we rescued her. It helped when we discovered beef is her favorite and if you put a raw egg on top she will eat it all. Knowing you are loved also gives you a better appetite.

Louisville, KY
Cat rescue or fosters needed. Today we trapped two kittens for spay/neuter at the shelter. We had gotten the Mum done last week. These two are so cute, no hissing and one of them let me pet him. I am guessing they would not be too hard to socialise.
I took them up to Louisville Metro Animal Shelter who is partnered with Alley Cats. They refused to take the kittens because it was 6 minutes past 6pm, even though their close time is listed as 7pm. Tonight they are staying with a neighbor thank goodness. We have a house full of dogs here.
I know everyone is full but sharing in casea rescuer or someone experienced with stray kittens can help so they dont have to be released back to the street after their spay/neuter. Please let us know ny tomorrow morning.
Miss Daisy Mae had so much fun at Bark and Brunch on the Louisville Waterfront Park on Sunday. She made a new buddy, got lots of pets from people and had her photo taken. She really is the easiest dog ever.

IMMEDIATE FOSTER needed or this little girl is shelter bound. We need someone to open their home to this 35 pound, 2 year old female American Staffordshire Terrier. She is petite, friendly and good in a crate. She has just nursed puppies so her teets are very swollen. She has been really neglected and used for breeding it seems. Her skin is making her uncomfortable. Its her turn to be loved and cared for. Please let us know if you can help. Text our rescue line at: 502-509-9886
Our sweet, goofy Snowy still has ZERO sponsors. We are out of pocket after her spay and general vetting. Without donations and monthly sponsors its not possible to help dogs like her. We need a couple of monthly sponsors to cover her food, grooming, flea and tick treatments, heartworm prevention, etc. We also really need funds for training. Snowy tends to guard her foster from other members of the family. She is confused about what her job is as a Great Pyrenees. We want to give her some help from our trainer who is an expert with this breed. Snowy wont find a furever home till we can do this for her.
If you would like to become a monthly sponsor at any amount please message us here, or email us: [email protected]
You can make donations to:
Venmo: @arielbullyrescue

Please note: "For Snowy". We are a 501c3 non-profit amd your donations are tax deductible.
